As an atheist who has been through a similar experience to Mr. Oswalt, it’s not about the other person waiting for you ‘on the other side’, it’s about not physically being able to view another person that way in the wake of such an abrupt ending to a loving relationship. He got a lot of mileage in the press over his…

Better start running then. The others have pitchforks and are out for blood.

Yeah, this makes me feel gross in the sense that we already treat women as interchangeable, replaceable second class citizens and for somebody to say they were IN THE VERY DEPTHS OF DESPAIR at Christmas and then engaged by the 4th of July ... like she was literally replaced.

I think its fine to date, but geez thats a quick engagement.

Wow the crazies come out of the woodwork quick. It’s fine if you disagree, I welcome that. I’m just old fashioned and was raised to think differently. To ME (Please note I’m not making a grand statement about humanity as a whole) I believe there are certain problems that arise from moving on too quickly.

I’m sure…

Goes to my feeling that men are weaker emotionally and can’t be alone. My ex had the kids last night and asked me to order their food delivery because “You know I can never figure out the app.” I told him fine because I didn’t want the kids to starve, but “next time get someone else to do your wifey shit” lol.

Not the person you replied to, but to me it feels .. arbitrary? Like when your goldfish or hamster dies and you just go out and buy a new one. You probably love the new goldfish and will treat it just fine, but it suggests that one goldfish is pretty much the same as any other goldfish. (Which, to be fair, is kinda…

To play devil’s advocate, we don’t know how their relationship was before she died. While I don’t doubt that he loved her, it’s pretty obvious that she had a drug problem. He may have been detaching from her romantically anyway. I’m not saying that he wasn’t devastated by her death but he might have been in a…

Yes, I was just thinking the same thing. In everything, it seems, even in mourning, it is easier to be a man.

Like, good for them and all, but I’m just saying that, personally, I’d like to be mourned for more than a couple few months kthx.

He seems lovely and I wish everybody well (for whatever random internet commenter wishes count for). But geez this feels so fast to me.

Nope. Wife dies suddenly in her sleep and he’s married a year later? NOPE.

SAME.

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens

First, I’m a little surprised that the comment section isn’t a dumpster fire...yet.

Jesus Christ, wypipo. First you blame Affirmative Action for your own shortcomings and sue; now you blame the DNC for not being able to bully your way over colored folks like you feel God intended and sue.

Only, you’ve got to know, it was about 5% of progressive voters in the aggregate that fucked us. Then there were those that didn’t vote.

Yes! Trump did not happen in a vacuum at all. The GOP has been successfully electing AND re-electing politicians like Trump throughout the country on the basis of sexism and racism. Michigan and Wisconsin have both swung red for Tea Party politics and politicians.

I was surprised by all of this. I really didn’t believe…

If you didn’t vote for Clinton and claim to hate Trump, you deliberately fucked us.

And, of course, to the vast bulk of voters who don’t watch the news on even a daily basis... They kept getting those “Is Trump turning things around?” and “Is Hillary dying?” headlines, which were meant to be a break from the presumed norm as the actual norm, because there were far fewer consistent “Hillary is…
